Sustainable Precision
Astronaut develops and produces fully automated production cells for the rotomoulding industry. High-precision rotomoulding with directly electrically heated moulds offers full control over temperature and cycle times. Thanks to the ability to selectively heat specific zones of the mould, material waste is minimized and energy efficiency maximized. This technique is ideally suited for producing complex, high-quality parts where tight tolerances and reproducibility are crucial.
Electric rotomoulding with Astronaut Machines is:
Fast
- The fully electric system provide immediate response, precise temperature control, and shorter cycle times compared to conventional systems.
- Years of experience in producing complex plastic parts, allow us to align engineering and optimized moulds with our machines for high efficiency and user-friendly operation.
Precise
- Electric heating zones with direct feedback offer accurate control of process parameters. (standard up to 250°C).
- Consistent quality and -control with data logging reduces scrap rates.
- Independent control of biaxial rotations.
- Suitable for high performance polymers, such as bio-based PA11.
- Easy integration with automation.
Sustainable
- Direct electric heating reduces wasted energy.
- Locally emission-free.
- Reduced energy use and less maintenance compared to gas-heated systems.
- Lower carbon footprint due to energy efficiency.
- Better suited for clean production environments.
- Suitable for higher percentage recycled contents.
